There is a large body of material that a few days of low calorie count does not harm your goals. It's like the new articles about the " always eat breakfast" mantra. Making your body run while in the negative of calories forces it to take it from fat reserves. And I don't know about you, but I have plenty of that.

Learn to swim the correct way so I can do real laps.

Hope requires courage. Especially in our troubled world, with so much darkened by the shadow of despair, hope can seem elusive. Or even impossible. Yet hope can return, on silent wings, when most needed. Cynicism is the enemy of hope, always doubting that improvement (or even virtue) is possible. But fresh thinking is the…

there are two good groups, "Need to lose 100 lbs- Robin's Thread" and " Looking to lose 100 lbs the healthy way"

It's great in recipes.

At first split meals into 2 parts, eat every couple hours (fruit, vegs), lots of water, more protein. It will get better. Just be determined. This is my fight song Take back my life song Prove I'm alright song My power's turned on Starting right now I'll be strong I'll play my fight song And I don't really care if nobody…

That is great article. Thanks for the link as it reaffirms my own study of this subject.

fish tacos, just cut up fish in 1/2 inch cubes, season with salt, chili powder, granulated garlic, granulated onion, spray frying pan, cook quick on med high. Serve with chopped cabbage, tomatoes, onions, cilantro, not fat yogurt, and salsa, add corn tortillas if you want or just keep it as a salad for really low calories

meant to say is overcooking not if overcooking. Bad typist but good cook. Freezing cooked food is just like cooking it more. Chicken breast cooks so QUICK that it really doesn't make sense to cook a week ahead. Just slice it thin, season, spray a pan, grill quick.

biggest mistake people make with chicken breast if overcooking it. Do you reheat them when you thaw them out, which is going to dry them out because of the freezing too. Under cook them a little so that when you warm them up they will be just right. I like them slow cooked too, with onion, garlic, a small tomato, chicken…

OMG, what an inspiration!!!!

As far as I am concerned walking is boring and doesn't burn enough calories to make it worth while. Swimming is more fun, doesn't hurt and burns more per hour unless your power walking. And you do not have to be a good swimmer in a pool to get the benefit. You can just tread water briskly, (look on youtube). At 250 lbs…

Anyone or everyone have suggestions for good work out music. Need some new suggestions

You're 24, yours will do better (much) than, say, you wait until your 54 to lose the weight. Youth is on your side, listen to what these people say, lose slowly, eat healthy, exercise, you'll be surprised at how good you look and feel. Your very pretty, you have everything to gain and nothing to lose.

paleo people were hunter gatherers and if they came across a taco bell they would have eaten there. What ever was available. And that included wild grains.

I have a VitaMix which I love for all the reasons above.

I won't repeat what I said before, but add, I've been on thyroid meds for decades. It took more one Dr. and changes in the prescriptions to get the levels into a somewhat normal range. And the weight you are affects how much meds you need.

I hate to say that something is impossible to believe, but I also know that it is extremely easy to not count every calorie you consume. It's way harder to be accurate than not. I also have a diagnosed thyroid condition and I'm old. I keep myself slightly under my calorie goal, swim everyday, don't eat back my exercise…

me too.

Stay home, don't go to the gym... Drink lots of fluid, very light broth soups, etc. Don't worry, just count calories right now and stay at your daily requirement.

I gotta try this, I love kimchi, and anything spicy!

Is there a Cash and Carry in your area? Hundreds of flavors. Oranges, vanilla protein powder, water, ice, orange sugar free syrup, blend. tastes like sherbert

" If "my biology" allows me to lose 100 pounds, it will sure as heck allow me to keep it off if I do the work." Oh Boy!!! Do I love that comment! That is so true. It's up to each one of us if we are going succeed or fail. I am the master of my own ship.

yes, if I don't I find I don't lose.

Just found something I really loved, thought I'd pass it on: To be wholly alive is to be grateful -- for every breath we take, every song we sing, every person we love, every day we discover. Just being grateful helps us to notice and appreciate all the blessings and opportunities around us. Each day, take a moment to just…
